Fans can expect “fireworks, music DJs, in-game commentary , roving performers, kids and family zones and giveaways.” **
Hold me back.
I’m hoping to all fark that doesn’t mean commentary over the p.a system…

But hey, we’ll just ignore the fact that the shortened cricket version killed the popularity of its longer cousin. That won’t happen to us.

The clever bit is it only needs 5000 of the keenest from each club to ensure the crowd tally isn’t embarrassing.

*Stupid thing happens like incidental contact leads to last touch OOB free kick and goal or player kicks 1 degree backwards, no mark, holding the ball, goal, or player dobs one from way way out *
""That’s just why this game is so good and exciting isn’t it BT, you just GOTTA play it fast and take the game on and keep the ball alive don’t you BT?**

This is actually starting to sound like it might just be Rod Butterss dream of having St Kilda play at Etihad with flashing lights and loads of noise all those years ago.
Something on the herald sun sight saying the league expects it be high scoring - up to 140 points a game. In a 20 minutes game. For one side to get that they need better than a goal a minute. How is that exciting?

I can already see the article in Mondays paper after aflx weekend:
AFL Chief Gillon McArrogance has hailed the opening weekend a success and begun hinting at an expanded competition of the concept format in 2019. “AFLX captures all the speed and excitement that is unique to my game in a shortened format” said McFarkstick today.
When questioned about the low attendances at the events, McSlimybastard quickly pointed out the favourable comparisons of crowd sizes to the JLT fixture. “We saw far more fan engagement in these events and much bigger and varied crowds than the JLT games” said McSleaze ignoring the fact that JLT games were played on grounds with no crowd capacity.
McFirethisprickalready also pointed out how the revised format made it easier to grow the game internationally. “We want to make more money” McGreedyshit said, “and pandering to the core AFL supporter just won’t do that. We’re tapped out on them. We need this new format to crack new markets and the traditionalists will just have to learn to deal with it.”
The round did end on a sour note with Lance Franklin’s knee injury, but but McStalin quickly pointed out that injury could easily have occurred during a training session. “Besides, since when have the afl given a fark about player welfare anyway”.
You left out the part where McPolostickuphisarse felt the inter- match Polo demonstration featuring Mchimselftruly were also an incredible success.

You forgot the bit where McCorporateSpeakingWanker hailed the format’s early success noting that “we need to capitalise on this, build moving forward and determine what this competition stands for”, adding that he “wasn’t going to speak to the several injuries” which occurred across the various matches.
Honestly, anyone who can listen to that co ckhead without throwing up a little in their mouth must have the constitution of an ox…

Has anyone checked Joe Daniher’s shower? I hope he uses liquid soap and not in bar form.

I’ve been to one Big Bash game. I found all the music and fireworks entirely distracting to the point where I couldn’t focus on the game, at all. And because those two things aren’t interesting in and of themselves, I was bored out of my brain. What a weird obsession.

If we lose, I reckon we’ll still see a Blitz meltdown… and a few #Essington posts.
